We establish a dimension formula for the harmonic measure of a finitely supported and symmetric random walk on a hyperbolic group. We also characterize random walks for which this dimension is maximal. Our approach is based on the Green…

We consider sequences of compositions of quadratic polynomials $f_{c_n} (z) = z^2 + c_n$. For such sequences one can naturally generalize the definitions of the Julia set and basin of infinity from the autonomous case. In this setting the…

Cubical complexes are metric spaces constructed by gluing together unit cubes in an analogous way to the construction of simplicial complexes. We construct Brownian motion on such spaces, define random walks, and prove that the transition…

We consider a directed random walk making either 0 or $+1$ moves and a Brownian bridge, independent of the walk, conditioned to arrive at point $b$ on time $T$. The Hamiltonian is defined as the sum of the square of increments of the bridge…

The first part of this paper is devoted to the Brown measure of the product of the free unitary Brownian motion by an arbitrary free non negative operator. Our approach follows the one recently initiated by Driver-Hall-Kemp though there are…

We revisit the description provided by Ph. Biane of the spectral measure of the free unitary Brownian motion. We actually construct for any $t \in (0,4)$ a Jordan curve $\gamma_t$ around the origin, not intersecting the semi-axis…

The usual random walk on a group (homogeneous both in time and in space) is determined by a probability measure on the group. In a random walk with random transition probabilities this single measure is replaced with a stationary sequence…

This paper deals with random walks on isometry groups of Gromov hyperbolic spaces, and more precisely with the dimension of the harmonic measure $\nu$ associated with such a random walk. We first establish a link of the form $\dim \nu \leq…

We consider a random walk in a truncated cone $K_N$, which is obtained by slicing cone $K$ by a hyperplane at a growing level of order $N$. We study the behaviour of the Green function in this truncated cone as $N$ increases. Using these…

We introduce a notion of asymptotically orthonormal polynomials for a Borel measure $\mu$ with compact nonpolar support in $\mathbb{C}$. Such sequences of polynomials have similar convergence properties of the sequences of Julia sets and…

We define a natural conformally invariant measure on unrooted Brownian loops in the plane and study some of its properties. We relate this measure to a measure on loops rooted at a boundary point of a domain and show how this relation gives…

The real trees form a class of metric spaces that extends the class of trees with edge lengths by allowing behavior such as infinite total edge length and vertices with infinite branching degree. We use Dirichlet form methods to construct…

We define and prove the existence of a fractional Brownian motion indexed by a collection of closed subsets of a measure space. This process is a generalization of the set-indexed Brownian motion, when the condition of independance is…

In this article we present an intrinsec construction of foliated Brownian motion via stochastic calculus adapted to foliation. The stochastic approach together with a proposed foliated vector calculus provide a natural method to work on…

We consider a family of free multiplicative Brownian motions $b_{s,\tau}$ parametrized by a real variance parameter $s$ and a complex covariance parameter $\tau.$ We compute the Brown measure $\mu_{s,\tau}$ of $ub_{s,\tau },$ where $u$ is a…

The Brownian continuum tree was extensively studied in the 90s as a universal random metric space. One construction obtains the continuum tree by a change of metric from an excursion function (or continuous circle mapping) on $[0,1]$. This…

We study the distribution of the exit place of iterated Brownian motion in a cone, obtaining information about the chance of the exit place having large magnitude. Along the way, we determine the joint distribution of the exit time and exit…

In this article, we introduce Brownian motion on stable looptrees using resistance techniques. We prove an invariance principle characterising it as the scaling limit of random walks on discrete looptrees, and prove precise local and global…

We study properties of the harmonic measure of balls in typical large discrete trees. For a ball of radius $n$ centered at the root, we prove that, although the size of the boundary is of order $n$, most of the harmonic measure is supported…

Nonintersecting Brownian bridges on the unit circle form a determinantal stochastic process exhibiting random matrix statistics for large numbers of walkers. We investigate the effect of adding a drift term to walkers on the circle…
